It is important that you don't simply believe every comment this page makes on the Bible but that you give it careful thought. While there may be some disagreement on the interpretation of the Bible on some points, there is one thing you need to understand: Every Bible prophecy about events that have taken place before today has been fulfilled 100%. Every Bible prophecy that will take place after this day will be fulfilled 100%. All this has happened and will happen regardless of how well people have understood the prophecies. One thing will be come clear however as you read this page.....

These are Signs that we are in the End Times.

SPECIAL NOTE: As you read this page, be aware that there is something more fearful than any of the end time judgements that will be poured out on the EARTH. These end time signs and the judgements that will follow them in a period of unprecedented tribulation on earth, are warning signs of a greater DAY OF JUDGEMENT when you will stand before God in HEAVEN. "For it is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgement" (Hebrews 9:27). You may also like to check out our shorter article on fulfilled Bible prophecy.

PROPHETIC SIGNS
THAT WE ARE IN THE END TIMES

Six signs are given by
Jesus

Two characteristics are given
by Paul

Eleven other occurences given
by the prophets to occur prior to or soon after the end
of the age.

SIX SIGNS GIVEN BY JESUS TO
INDICATE HIS COMING AND THE END OF THE
AGE

Matthew
24:3 And as he sat
upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and
what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the
world?

Jesus told his apostles to look
for the following signs prior to his second coming and
the end of the
age.

In the last several years many
people have claimed to be the Messiah like Jim Jones,
David Koresh and countless others who are not as
newsworthy. These false prophets are a prelude to the
ultimate false Christ, the Antichrist.

2) WARS

Matthew
24:6 And ye shall
hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not
troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the
end is not yet.

Rumors of wars now occur
frequently thanks to instant coverage by the television
news media.

Matthew 24:7
For nation shall rise
against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall
be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers
places.

More people been killed in
warfare in the this century than at any other time in
history.

Devastating weapons of mass
destruction (nuclear, chemical, and biological) are now
available. For the first time in human history we now
have the capacity to destroy ourselves.

3) FAMINES

Matthew
24:7 For nation shall
rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there
shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in
divers places.

Famine is a constant finding in
Africa, especially in Ethiopia and Sudan. A large portion
of the world's 5 billion people [6.8 in mid 2010, expected to be 7 billion in 2011]are
undernourished.

4) EARTHQUAKES

Matthew
24:7 For nation shall
rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there
shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in
divers places.

The number and intensity of
earthquakes this century are at a level higher than any
other time in history [this view is disputed but it makes little difference - ie. earthquakes and other natural disasters continue to be a sign of end times - for more info check out EARTHQUAKES IN THE LAST CENTURY ... when you get to the page, scroll down to the second section].

By contrast in the years
1890-1900 there was only one major earthquake in the
world.

5) TRIBULATIONS

Matthew
24:8-9
8All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted,
and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for
my name's sake.

At this time the Church is
under attack throughout the world (China, Saudi Arabia,
Russia, Korea, Sudan). During the Tribulation the
persecution of Christians will intensify even to the
point of martyrdom.

Matthew
24:8 8All
these are the beginning of sorrows.

Unfortunately, these 5 signs
will increase in intensity and severity as the
tribulation approaches as the birthpangs or contractions
of a pregnant woman worsen as the delivery time
approaches.

6) GOSPEL PREACHED THROUGHOUT
THE WORLD:

Matthew
24:14
And this gospel of
the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness
unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

This has been accomplished by
TV, radio, missionaries, and bible offerings and
translations in most languages of the world.

TWO CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
END OF THE AGE BY THE APOSTLE PAUL

1) GODLESSNESS IN THE LAST
DAYS

2 Timothy 3:1-5,7
1This know
also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural
affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures
more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of
godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn
away. 7Ever learning, and never able to come to
the knowledge of the truth.

2) APOSTASY (FALLING AWAY
FROM THE FAITH)

1 Timothy
4:1-3 1Now
the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some
shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing
spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies
in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot
iron; 3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to
abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received
with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the
truth.

The rising popularity of the
new age movement, eastern religions, meditation, and
belief in past lives and reincarnation.

Christian denominations
departing from the original teachings of the Bible.

ELEVEN FULLFILLMENTS OF BIBLE
PROPHECY REQUIRED FOR THE END OF THE AGE

1) EXISTENCE OF A 200,000,000
MAN ARMY IN THE EAST:

Revelation
9:16 And the number
of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand
thousand: and I heard the number of them.

At no time in history had such
a large army existed until the Chinese army reached that
figure in the 1960's.

2) REDEVELOPMENT OF THE ROMAN
EMPIRE (EUROPEAN COMMUNITY):

Daniel 2:32-33,40-43
32This image's head was of
fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and
his thighs of brass, 33His legs of iron, his feet
part of iron and part of clay. 40And the fourth
kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh
in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh
all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. 41 And
whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters'
clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but
there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch
as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42And as the toes of the feet were part of iron,
and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and
partly broken. 43And whereas thou sawest iron
mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the
seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even
as iron is not mixed with clay.

The fourth kingdom of iron is
the Roman empire according to Daniel's interpretation of
King Nebuchadnezzar's dream. The two legs are the
division of the Roman empire into an eastern portion
called the Byzantine empire which ended in the 1400's and
a western portion based in Rome which ended in the 400's.
The toes of iron may be the 10 member nations of the
European Economic Community formed in the 1970's while
the clay is the second tier of member nations. The
nations of Europe since the Roman empire dissolved have
never adhered or formed one empire but continue as
separate nations.

See the Kingdoms in Daniel
chapters 2 and 7 for more information.

3) RETURN OF THE ONE PURE
LANGUAGE, HEBREW, TO ISRAEL:

Zephaniah
3:9 For then will I
turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call
upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one
consent.

Prior to restoration of Israel
in 1948, Hebrew was a dead language. Now Hebrew is spoken
throughout Israel. When has there ever been the restoration of a dead language after 2,000 years!!! This is the hand of God at work.

4) REBUILDING OF THE
TEMPLE/RESTORATION OF TEMPLE WORSHIP AND ANIMAL SACRIFICES
IN JERUSALEM:

The temple and restarting the
animal sacrifices are required for several of the endtime
prophecies to be fulfilled:

Revelation 11:2
But the court which
is without the temple leave out, and measure it not;
for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall
they tread under foot forty and two months.

Daniel
9:27
And he shall confirm the covenant
with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he
shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for
the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate,
even until the consummation, and that determined shall be
poured upon the desolate.

Daniel
9:26
And after threescore and two weeks
shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the
people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city
and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with
a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are
determined.

Building blueprints for the
temple are ready. All that is delaying building now is
the presence of the 3rd holiest site in Islam, the Dome
of the Rock which lies over the old temple
site.

The rebuilding of the temple is
therefore unlikely at the present time.

Four possible scenarios for the
rebuilding of the temple:

1) The persuasion and
performing of miracles by the Antichrist and False
Prophet convinces the Islamic world to approve the
rebuilding

2) Approval is given during the
confusion and bewilderment of the Rapture

3) Some archeologists believe
that the temple mount is actually 340 feet south of the
Dome of the Rock site. If this proven true the building
will begin. The court that is left out may refer to the
building of the temple around the Dome of the Rock.

Revelation
11:2 But the
court which is without the temple leave out,
and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles:
and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty
and two months.

4) After God's supernatural
destruction of the Russian army. This scenario assumes
that this Russian attack on Israel is not the battle of
Armageddon as some biblical students feel and that this
attack occurs before the rapture or tribulation period
begins. This destruction of the Russian and Islamic armed
forces by God, will cause a outpouring of Christian
worship and zeal amongst the Jewish people who will
reconstruct the temple.

Numbers 19:2-7
2This is
the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded,
saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring
thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and
upon which never came yoke: 3And ye shall give
her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth
without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
4And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood
with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before
the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
5And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her
skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he
burn: 6And the priest shall take cedar wood, and
hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the
burning of the heifer. 7Then the priest shall
wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and
afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall
be unclean until the even.

A Red Hiefer is required for
the waters of purification. In May 1997 the first Red
Heifer was born in 2000 years.

Ezekiel
36:24-25
24For I will take you from among the heathen, and
gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into
your own land. 25Then will I sprinkle clean water
upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness,
and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

6) INCREASE IN KNOWLEDGE AND
TRAVEL:

Daniel
12:4
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the
words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many
shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be
increased.

More knowledge has been
discovered in the last century than in all of history
combined. 90% of all the engineers or scientists who have
ever lived are alive today (quoted from Billy
Graham).

7) RETURN OF THE ETHIOPIAN JEWS
TO ISRAEL:

Zephaniah 3:10-11
10From
beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the
daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
11In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all
thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for
then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that
rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty
because of my holy mountain.

1984 and 1991 U.S. airlifts of
Ethiopian Jews to Israel.

8) RISE OF
RUSSIA:

Ezekiel 38:2,4,8
2Son of
man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief
prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
4And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into
thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army,
horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of
armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all
of them handling swords: 8After many days thou
shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into
the land that is brought back from the sword, and is
gathered out of many people, against the mountains of
Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought
forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of
them.

Prior to the 20th century Magog
or Russia was not a economic or military world power. In
order for some end time events to occur Russia has to be
a strong nation.

9) RETURN OF THE RUSSIAN JEWS TO
ISRAEL:

Jeremiah
23:7-8
7Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the
LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which
brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which
led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north
country, and from all countries whither I had driven them;
and they shall dwell in their own land.

1970's and 80's exodus of
Russian Jews out of Communist Russia.

10) TECHNOLOGY FOR THE MARK OF
THE BEAST:

Revelation 13:16-17
16And he
causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and
bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell,
save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the
number of his name.

Assuming the Mark is an under
the skin implanted computer device, the technology is now
available and patented at the U.S. Patent
Office.

The United Nations, World Trade
Organization, Peacekeeping actions and other agencies are
preliminary steps to the formation of a one world
government.

This generation is the first in
history that has the communications and transportation
needed to form a one world government which the
Antichrist will establish.

12) INSTANT COMMUNICATION AROUND
THE WORLD:

Revelation
11:3,7-10
3And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and
they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore
days, clothed in sackcloth. 7And when they shall
have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out
of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall
overcome them, and kill them. 8And their dead
bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which
spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord
was crucified. 9And they of the people and
kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies
three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead
bodies to be put in graves. 10And they that
dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make
merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because
these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the
earth.

Television must be present for
the world to see the dead prophets and rejoice at their
deaths.

Luke
21:28 And when these
things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your
heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
